Automotive Clamps

Additional Details

Clamps can be very useful to photographers, when they need to have both their hands free. Situations frequently occur in which it is not possible to use a tripod, or a tripod is not available. However, the photographer may need to mount his camera in one place, with a fair amount of swivel. This is where clamps are a good option. Specially designed camera clamps permit considerable freedom in camera positioning. As the clamp fixes the camera firmly in one place, the photographer can steady his shots in places unsuitable for tripods. Clamps offer several advantages that tripods do not have: they are lighter, smaller and more portable than tripods. This is not to say that camera clamps can replace tripods in all situations. Wherever a tripod can be used, chances are that it will offer greater freedom of movement than a clamp. And, in many places, a suitable structure (like a pipe) onto which a clamp can be fixed may not be available.
